Just for the heck of it I decided to tear down our old washing machine to
see what might be salvageable. For parts.

Not much really. There is a little tiny servo for the detergent dispenser.
Doesn't look to have an encoder so there must be a position sensor. I might
tear into it someday, but I don't have much use for a servo with power in
the milliwatts.

There are a couple modestly heavy springs that the basket and tub assembly
hung from. Those I'll save for sure. Four shock absorbers tied to the
bottom of the tub. Those I'll probably save for a while, but probably not
forever. Lots of hoses. Lots of heavy spring wire hose clamps.

A stainless steel laundry basket with out a dynamic balancing ring, so maybe
a short term burning basket that I don't have to depressurize first. Looks
like they counted on the shock absorbers and the springs to take up for out
of balance loads. Well that, and there are several heavy cast concrete
(resin-crete of some kind maybe) that act as inertial dampers.

I can probably save the drain pump if I determine what voltage it takes.
Not sure what use I would have for it though. Its a pretty application
specific shaped pump.

The main motor though got my attention. Looks like 3 wires going into an
open frame motor. Lots of other stuff. Some sort of sensor on the back
shaft, etc. When I looked at the motor to see if it was labeled I noted
something that really got my attention.

It says 195V 310hz 17500 RPM.

Isn't about 195V volts about what a 110-220 VFD puts out? Did I just find a
high speed 3 phase spindle motor for a future project?

Oh, yeah, there was two quarters behind the drain pump trash collection
basket.
